\section*{Quotes}
\begin{itemize}
\item \emph{quicksilver} [on what OS sjanssen uses] sjanssen runs haskell programs in his head; much more efficient.
\item \emph{EvilTerran} "We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the phantom types began to take hold."
\item \emph{audreyt} o/~ the phantom of the typesystem is here / inside my mind! o/~
\item \emph{dmwit} No, no, no, (\$) isn't right-assoc, it's wrong-assoc.
\item \emph{solrize} this would never happen in haskell: i sent in a search query to a certain python program, but left the query field empty, expecting to get back an error message. instead it found a bunch of books written by the diet doctor Gary Null.
\item \emph{heatsink} We're all inside do-blocks in the IO monad if you think about it.
\item \emph{djsiegel} [upon having a question answered by dons] oh my, I'm talking to the man
\item \emph{mar77a} the first computers were big because they were actually cupboards with fast humans inside
